For an overnight stay for an early flight, it was just ok. Our fridge was not working but staff came and replaced it. The shower had was not hot and not even luke warm..it was fresh. Staff were nice and helpful and the bed was comfortable.
Amenities around property ok for me. Alot of noise in AM within the hotel including dragging furniture around the stone floors. Went on all night. Road noise but that is understandable. WiFi and shower good.
I stayed here 3 nights after arriving to India and before flying onward to another destination in the country. Location is near the airport which was convenient for catching an early morning flight, but also because it is close to the airport it is very noisy at all hours of the day. I know this isn't the hotel's fault, but the windows and walls just seemed so thin that I could hear dogs barking, horns honking, and even music playing down on the street all night. The room was clean and comfortable enough otherwise.

The hotel is close to the airport and the staff were fine but seemed very stressed and were not courteous to each other. The area that the hotel is based at is very rough with lots of people asking for money. I struggled to get into a taxi on 2 occasions outside the property.
The hotel was extremely noisy throughout the night into the early morning with people running about, pressing door buzzers and shouting.
I would risk a longer journey to the airport in return for a nicer area bext time.
It was very easy to get to the airport. Staff were very nice also. I’d stay there again.

Food taste good
Main important closest to airport and even having heavy traffic you can reach airport in 40min otherwise 10min drive
Property was overall safe, convenient and comfortable for a nice family stay. Room was as per photo. Food and airport transportation is overpriced

Overall a good stay. We needed a place for about 5 hours and it served the purpose. The staff was overall very friendly. The front desk person seemed a little short on patience. The wifi is not enough for working. They gave us the password on two tiny pieces of paper but it was so faded that it took us a really long time to figure it out!
We stayed here for one night after arriving in Delhi, we checked in at around 1am, and had no issues with check in. We had initially booked 3 rooms for 7 people but on the night added an additional room and they were able to accomodate.
With traffic getting out of delhi airport, the hotel is around 30-40mins away by car.
The room itself was clean, and the breakfast buffet was nice. The staff were all very friendly. There was hot water and AC worked.
For the number of people we had and the price we paid we have no complaints.
One thing to note, they mention parking is available, but parking is just outside the hotel, so I can imagine at times parking might be difficult as there is only enough space for a few cars.

They didn’t make it clear that the hotel will charge for water,even i stain something on the bedsheet they charge for the bedshet also. The fridge and kettle are also not working i told them to change but never change it.
Friendly welcome. Good levels of security - both at reception and in bedrooms. Spacious shower, with sensible drainage, leaving rest of bathroom with a dry floor. Excellent air conditioning.
External photos of hotel are misleading, as it is faced by a flyover ! Then, traffic on the exit road from flyover often builds up, so outside of hotel can often feature near stationary vehicles, many of which are using their horns.
So, ask for a rear facing room !
